CMSSource: CMS FY 2027 ICD-10-CM dataset · Effective Oct 1, 2026 – Sep 30, 2027

T82.7XXS is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for infection and inflammatory reaction due to other cardiac and vascular devices, implants and grafts, sequela. The 7th character S marks it as a sequela code, which reports a problem that remains after the original condition has resolved. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 922 through 923. The code is exempt from POA reporting. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Complication, sequela.

Coding GuidelinesGuidance

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Complications of cardiac and vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts (T82). Use the following options for the applicable episode of care:

  • A - initial encounter
  • D - subsequent encounter
  • S - sequela

Notes

General instructions on how these codes are used.

From Chapter 19 (S00-T88) Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes applies to 41,187 codes
  • Use secondary code(s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code
  • The chapter uses the S-section for coding different types of injuries related to single body regions and the T-section to cover injuries to unspecified body regions as well as poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes.

7th Character

Every code in the category takes a 7th character from the listed values, with the placeholder X filling any empty positions before it.

Questions About T82.7XXSOverview

Is T82.7XXS a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report infection and inflammatory reaction due to other cardiac and vascular devices, implants and grafts, sequela on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

What does the 7th character S in T82.7XXS mean?

The final character S makes this a sequela code: it reports a lingering problem that remains after the infection and inflammatory reaction due to other cardiac and vascular devices, implants and grafts itself has resolved, not the original event.

What MS-DRG does T82.7XXS group to?

When infection and inflammatory reaction due to other cardiac and vascular devices, implants and grafts, sequela is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 923, 922, with relative weights from 0.9980 to 1.6248 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.

Is T82.7XXS exempt from POA reporting?

Yes. CMS lists this code among those exempt from present on admission reporting, so hospitals do not assign a POA indicator for infection and inflammatory reaction due to other cardiac and vascular devices, implants and grafts, sequela on inpatient claims. The code appears in the Complications of surgical and medical care, not elsewhere classified (T80-T88) range of the CMS exempt list.

Does T82.7XXS need an additional code?

When the condition applies, yes. The Use Additional Code note at T82.7, which applies to T82.7XXS, reads: code to identify infection. The additional code is reported after T82.7XXS.
